Our goal is provide business owners with useful tips and informations so that they can make informed decisions with their digital marketing.<\/p><p>Today we want to explain the steps on how business owners can get new web designed. Many business owners have let us know that they were hesitant on getting a website because they were overwhelmed and didn&#8217;t understand the process. We hope to clearly explain the process of a getting a new website, so that you can make an informed decision.\u00a0<\/p><h2><em>Step 1:<\/em> <br \/>Looking for a qualified web design agency<\/h2><p>When looking for a web designer\/developer, first look at their portfolio so you can get a sense of their skills. Judge their portfolio work based on design, navigation\/usability, and site performance.<\/p><p>As a business owner who isn&#8217;t familiar with standard design and development practices, you can tell a website is generally good if it meets the following criteria:<\/p><ul><li>design looks good<\/li><li>is easy to navigate<\/li><li>loads fast<\/li><li>has no errors or bugs<\/li><li>ranks well in Google search<\/li><\/ul><h2><em>Step 2:<\/em> <br \/>Get a quote\/estimate<\/h2><p>Once you find some web design agencies that have a strong portfolio, meet with them or have a phone call to discuss the specific needs of your website. After discussing your specific requirements, you will receive estimates on how much it will cost to build.<\/p><h2><em>Step 3:<\/em><br \/>Hire your preferred web designer<\/h2><p>You have now chosen your favourite designer based on their quality of work, and the cost they have given you.<\/p><p>Now that the project has begun, the standard website process at Digital Mammoth is as follows:<\/p><ul><li>A Kick-off meeting to discuss design direction, timeline, domain name options is setup.<\/li><li>Content and images\/video assets are requested from you. If required, a plan is made to hire a content writer and photographer.<\/li><li>Initial designs are created and sent out for a design approval. Sometimes web design goes through a couple revisions.<\/li><li>After a design is approved, development of the site begins.<\/li><li>Web development is completed and sent off for review.<\/li><li>Once a websites development is completed, it will be tested for browser compatibility and speed.<\/li><li>Now that the website is completed and approved, it can be launched.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44583ca elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"44583ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fdc17c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fdc17c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Now that you understand most of the process in getting a new website.
